It’s your time! To step into your power! I am talking to yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, health and wellness coaches…. All you light leaders out there

I have heard from many of you, and I know you WANT and desire growth in your craft, growth in your audience and clientele, and growth in your ability to draw in abundance

I know that there are a lot of courses out there that tell you that you need better marketing … but marketing doesn’t work if you aren’t clear on your messaging

I know there are coaches who will tell you that you need to know who your ideal client is and structure your brand to that, but it won’t work if you aren’t clear on your values, and your vision

All the “business” stuff is great… but if you aren’t aligned on the inside, if you aren’t clear on your vision, if you aren’t grounded in your values…. It won’t be sustainable… and it will definitely be a hot mess of a journey that will take you a lot longer than it needs to

I am speaking from experience!
And I designed this 10 week container to support you light leaders to get exceptional clarity, connection to your values, and put words and ideas on paper that support your mission and desire for impact

You scaling up isn’t going to come from another certificate …. It’s going to come from powerful alignment !!!

Let’s do the work !!!

Join me for this 10 week container - I have 20 years of experience in this field of work and business as I have walked my own path of growth - as a massage therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga teacher, yoga studio owner and single mom….. I’ve learned a ton…

Let me pour it into you …

If you missed my Monday message yesterday - here is the summary of what I spoke on …. Let me know what resonates or lands with you in the comments below 👇

What if peace isn’t something you find “out there” — but something revealed when you see your true self clearly?

The Upaniṣads remind us:
👉 Ātma-darśanam śāntam — Self-realization brings peace.

In this weeks Monday Message( which you can still watch on my YouTube or on my empowered living community platform for FREE), we’ll explore:
✨ Why self-awareness dissolves restlessness
✨ The difference between surface identity and true self
✨ How authenticity leads to inner peace
✨ Practical tools for living in alignment with your deepest truth

📩 DM me PEACE on Instagram for a free guided journaling practice on self-awareness and authenticity.

Life will always rise and fall. The real yoga is staying steady in the storm. Type 💯if you know what I mean!

The Bhagavad Gītā (2.48) reminds us:
👉 “Samatvam yoga ucyate”
Equanimity is yoga.
Krsna tells Arjuna to live his life with equipoise, without being attached in success or failure - and that this equanimity is called yoga !!

Equanimity doesn’t mean shutting down or not caring — it means staying rooted, balanced, and clear no matter what’s happening around you.

In this week’s Monday Message, we explore how:
🌿 Equanimity = inner balance amidst change
⚖️ Don’t swing wildly with success or failure
🌊 Centered-ness creates clarity in decision-making
💪 Balance is strength, not indifference
🧘 True yoga is the art of being centered everywhere

✨ Imagine what could shift if you stopped getting pulled into extremes — and instead practiced staying anchored, calm, and present.

Stop waiting for someone else to save you, fix it for you, solve it for you, do it for you….

The Bhagavad Gītā reminds us:
👉 “Uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ”
One should uplift oneself by oneself. (6.5)

This is one of the most empowering teachings in yoga philosophy.

It’s not about isolation — it’s about remembering that the greatest power to transform your life is already within you.

In this week’s Monday Message, we explore how:
🌟 Taking responsibility = reclaiming your power
🧘 No one else can walk your path for you
💛 Inner work is the foundation of outer change
⚡ Owning your choices dissolves victimhood
✨ Uplifting yourself becomes an inspiration for others

The path is yours to walk — and your rise lights the way for those around you.

Ever feel weighed down by the pressure of results?
The Gītā reminds us that freedom isn’t found in controlling outcomes—it’s found in how we show up.

✨ Here are 5 keys to practicing non-attachment in action:
1. Detach from results, attach to effort.
2. True freedom = doing your best without clinging.
3. Outcomes are shaped by many forces, not just you.
4. Attachment breeds anxiety, detachment breeds peace.
5. Non-attachment allows joy in the process.

🌱 Modern Life Examples:
– In Work: Show up to serve, not to chase applause.
– In Relationships: Love freely, without demanding return.
– In Life: Act with integrity, then let go.

👉 Swipe through today’s carousel for the full Monday Message.

📩 DM me the word EFFORT and I’ll send you a free journal prompt PDF to help you explore where non-attachment could bring you more peace and freedom.

💛 Save + share this with someone who needs the reminder to trust the process.

The joy is in the doing. 🌸

Hey life warrior !!! ✨
Ever notice how we start things strong — but lose momentum after a week? (Me too!)

Ever feel like the path to peace and purpose is unclear or overwhelming? Drop a 👋 if you ever feel that way?


You’re not alone—and you’re not without support. 🙏

In Yoga Sūtra I.20, Patanjali names five inner resources that light the way forward when the road feels foggy:
✨ Śraddhā – Faith
🔥 Vīrya – Energy
🧠 Smṛti – Memory
🧘🏽‍♀️ Samādhi – Focus
🌕 Prajñā – Wisdom

These timeless qualities are already within you—waiting to be remembered, reawakened, and embodied.
This week’s Monday Message breaks down each of these 5 powers and how to apply them in your everyday life. 🌀

Thee Power of Practice and Letting Go – The Yogic Path to Mental Freedom (raise your hand 🤚 if you want mental freedom)

In this week’s Monday Message, we explore a core teaching from the Yoga Sūtras:
Abhyāsa-vairāgyābhyām tan-nirodhaḥ
The mind becomes still through consistent practice and compassionate letting go.

🌀 This teaching isn’t just for meditation cushions — it’s for real life.

It’s for those navigating change, burnout, overthinking, or the pressure to “keep it all together.”

In this 8-minute video, you’ll learn:
🌱 What real practice (Abhyāsa) looks like in daily life
🕊️ How non-attachment (Vairāgya) creates inner freedom
⚖️ Why the balance between effort and surrender is the key to peace

Having teachers on your path of growth is such a blessing and a gift - no matter the path you are walking

Tag someone in the comments below who has been a teacher to you in your life and show them some love and appreciation.

In yoga it is said, by the grace of God you get a guru, and by the grace of guru you get God 🙏🏼🩵🙏🏼

These are just some of the teachers who have greatly impacted my growth and development on the path of yoga and spirituality

Many of them have influenced me in how I show up as a leader, a teacher, a mother, and a student

They have taught me with their words and wisdom they share through their teachings, and writings. and they have taught me with their example of walking the path of devotion and pure hearted service leadership !!

I honestly would not be who I am today if it wasn’t for these amazing souls and their contribution to me and my journey and my healing and my evolution

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

There are many more teachers who are not pictured here that I would have loved to include! I have been truly blessed to be influenced and impacted by such amazing and wonderful people !!!

On this guru Purnima, I have been thinking about them so much today, and how they have shaped my life, whether they know it or not! And I am eternally grateful and forever indebted and hope to pay that debt forward as much as possible and follow in their footsteps (even tho I am way way way far behind them) to be able to have even the tiniest of fraction of what they gave me - to others - is my life’s mission 🙏🏼

I pray that by the grace of God I am able to pour into others the way they have poured into me ✨✨✨

Jai Guru Dev
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet - I offer a deep bow of gratitude 1million and 8 times over and over
Sri Gurubhyo Namah
